More mine shafts explored. (Pathfinder: mapmakers folly part 14)

 Back in the Storage Room (Room 13)

The party having exited the last mine shaft are back in room 13, the storage room. There are many other crates, boxes and barrels other than the one they have already opened. There is a faint smell of wine. The pathfinder scout seems convinced her possesions will be found here.

I draw cards from the deck of many things.
Monsters? I draw the ‘Humanoid’ card, that fits in nicely with Kobolds.
Treasure?I draw the Mage card. Perhaps an object of art crafted by magic.

With both Renka and Branwen holding torches, they begin to search for the Scouts equipment.

Further Into The Mine (Pathfinder: Mapmakers Folly part 13)

 The four companions plus droogami and the Pathfinder elf walk deeper into the mine. They enter a large chamber. Like the first chamber they entered, much of it has at sometime been carved by hand and the tunnels are supported by old wooden posts. A search of this room reveals no monsters. The pathfinder hopes her equipment is here but its not. I also ask the oracle if there is any treasure and get yes, but...

Into the Mine (Pathfinder:Mapmakers Folly part 12)

 

The four characters make it to the mine, its dusk as they arrive. I ask my oracle if they encounter anything as the descend into the mouth of the mine. I get No, But…
Drawing a card from the deck of many things I get Moon. Reading the card reference guide I think there is a ‘place concealed by terrain’. The companions will know this, but I think they would look over the entrance. A perception check may work here?
I set a DC of 20. Lini makes the first perception check, she has Perception +11 and rolls 19 for a total of 30, a critical success. Perfect — with a 30, Lini doesn’t just spot the hidden place… she sees it with absolute clarity, as if the land itself is whispering the truth to her.

A book in the snow (Pathfinder:Mapmakers Folly Part 11)

 A little while ago I picked up the ‘Deck of Many Things’ which while designed for Dungeons & Dragons, works beautifully with other systems, Pathfinder included.

to set the scene for the next part of the campaign I drew five cards, one for each of the following

• The Threat – Book
• The Twist – Mine
• The Ally – Warrior
• The Cost – Monstrosity
• The Reward – Sage

I can interpret them as I go along.

The final Ritual (Pathfinder: Mapmakers Folly part 10)

 

Scene 30: Return to the Echo Woods

The path back into the Echo Woods felt different this time — heavier, as though the trees themselves sensed what the companions carried with them. Branwen walked at the front, bow in hand, every instinct sharpened. Lini padded beside her, small but steady, her connection to the forest humming like a quiet heartbeat. Nyra’s steps were purposeful, her presence a calm centre in the growing unease. Renka kept close to Lark Pindle, the girl’s small hand gripping hers tightly, while Elara Moonshadow drifted at the rear like a shadow that had chosen, reluctantly, to follow.

Scene 25: Morning in the Singing Creek Tavern

The hearth is still warm from last night’s fire, and the smell of bread and smoked fish lingers. Tavish leans on the bar, polishing a mug with a rag that’s seen better days. His eyes narrow as Branwen mentions the shrine and the “Abandoned Zealot.”
